'The last thing you want is a b**** stole my look moment': Jennifer Hawkins wears plunging frock as she and the Myer team dish autumn racing fashion and beauty tips

Some of Sydney's most fashionable fillies stepped out on Wednesday to kick off of Myer's Autumn racing season.

The department store's queen ambassador, Jennifer Hawkins was flanked by her colleagues Rachael Finch and Kris Smith to showcase the best fashions Myer had to offer this racing season.

It only felt like yesterday that the style set flocked to Flemington and Randwick for the Spring Racing Carnival, but in a salute to the warm season that was, bold hues and sorbet shades will be left in 2014.

Standing against the hot spot location's stunning city backdrop and botanical arrangements, Jen was true to form, wearing a plunging olive green and black frock.

'Each to their own with dressing, but a few trends coming through in Autumn and Winter are darker colour palettes. Berry tones are definitely in and you could mix it up with a red lip,' she told the fashionable set.

'A felt hat or felt fascinator also works really well.'

Looking a million dollars, the 31-year-old arrived at the venue wearing a dramatic leopard print coat-dress paired with a vibrant, brimmed red hat, before changing into her parade frock.

Dazzling the crowd with her beauty, Jen explained that a lot of thought goes into the overall look on race day: 'It takes a couple of hours,' she said of the beautifying process.

'When it comes to dressing I think it's nice to collaborate with the designers, and they usually have their take on what you should wear and when it comes to hair and makeup, that's the easy part -that's when you just sit back and relax.'

Kris however said his preparations were far more low-key, giving his start to finish time an estimated, 'four or five minutes.'

'You need to have a chat to my husband,' Rachael cut in.

'He takes 45 minutes I swear, and he uses the gel... and dusting powder that I've got. He uses that in his hair and says "I swear it really works!"'

What a beauty! Rachael was her usual stylish self at the Myer showcase, which was her very first engagement representing the department store
